Do we have a test for this? How do we unit-test UI components?
This would be nice to have. Building proper tests is not so easy, this
could
be very long to setup, since you need to test in several browsers and
you
need full AJAX interaction.
That's basically what we do with Selenium, except that we test the integration of the
features in the wiki, not the atomic behaviors of the components.
There isn't really an alternative to launching a browser for testing our JS
components, since most if not all of them heavily rely on a DOM, so just a JS runtime will
not be enough.
We could envisage a JS unit-testing system like this :
- Write tests in .js files, using JSUnit or any other unit testing JS framework
(
http://ejohn.org/blog/which-unit-testing-framework/)
- Slurp the tests in a XAR using a maven plugin
- Execute the tests inside XE, using Selenium
wdyt ?
Jerome.
I am not used to such automated testing,
but I
am not sure the investment is worse the improvement we could get from
them.
On the other side, I use livetables JS heavily, so you could be
assured that
my fixes/improvements are either well tested or will be fixed ASAP
since all
changes I introduce is already in production. We also usually test
them on
all supported browsers, and at least on IE6/7/8, FF3 (Win/Mac),
Safari4
(Mac) and Chrome (Mac)
FYI, I found this one when we have introduced the usage of hashes to
provide
"Back to the list" links. I will soon commit an improvement supporting
the
page size in hash as well, so you can really get very precise "back to
the
list" return links.
